Meet Your New College Town
Washington, D.C.
Located in a green and residential corner of DC, our campus is your escape from the bustling heart of the city. Yet we are just minutes away from all the culture, energy, and unrivaled opportunities of the nation's capital.
Our surrounding community is filled with tree-lined pathways, cozy cafes and restaurants, and contemplative spaces for meaningful reflection and connection. Catch a ride on Metrorail or Metrobus into the city withÌýAU's U-Pass programÌýfor even more to do. Visit century-old landmarks, check out the vibrant arts scene with museums and theatres, or eat your way through the city's neighborhoods.
Our Campus
Take one look at our campus, lined with trees, plants, and gardens, and you might forget we’re in a major city. With 385 different species and varieties of woody plants-totaling 4,000 trees-AU’s campus is aÌýdesignated arboretum.
We're green in other ways too. As the first university in the country to achieve carbon neutrality in 2018, AU is blazing a trail to a more sustainable future.
